😠 We showed up with a few friends to play games. We eventually were asked to a game of beer (water) pong and everything seemed normal until another group showed up asking to play. We were obviously fine with the 'loser walks' rule, but were pushed repeatedly by friends of the 'manager' and as we were... People often mention games, great, service, bartender, time, good,

    We showed up with a few friends to play games. We eventually were asked to a game of beer (water) pong and everything seemed normal until another group showed up asking to play. We were obviously fine with the 'loser walks' rule, but were pushed repeatedly by friends of the 'manager' and as we were leaving shortly after the 'manager' pulled up and said I put my shoulders towards him and a woman with him (which I have never done). He then apologized and said it was because he disapproved of our party. I spoke to him saying we were just a nearby group of workers trying to play skeeball and such. He had me shut up, pay my bill, and leave. It was pretty hurtful as we had friends from out of town and everyone was confused. We had a friend go in later to realize their friends were playing pong over and over. Class act. No

    My friend was grabbed by the “bouncer/security” guy. She tried walking back to her table trying to find a forgotten item when he grabbed her and started pushing her. Completely unacceptable. Several witnesses. Something needs to be done about this guy and his two drunk friends who just kept saying “security” while drinking beer (most likely didn’t even work there). I hope management makes some changes and can see how this could’ve been avoided if he only used his words and did not get physical, us ladies should be able to feel safe walking. In regards to your response below, you have not said anything to make me feel safer at all. We were still in the building when all of this happened so it’s not even like we walked through the front doors again to get something. Also you say you do not have security guards… maybe you shouldn’t let a bunch of drunk guys stay in your bar when you claim to protect your liquor license. Don’t have them say they’re security when you just admitted they aren’t. Your general manager didn’t even explain he cannot let anyone back before putting his hands on someone. Not okay. There’s no reason why I should take down my review when this is clearly what I saw happen.

    The most unprofessional establishment I’ve ever been in. Upon exiting, I tried to walk back to where I was sitting (I didn’t even exit the bar yet) at 1:50am to find my vape. The owner, and his 3 drunk security guards started yelling at my boyfriend and I, and put their hands on me in a uncalled for violent manner. They are lucky I did not call the police. You do not put your hands on someone no matter what. Plenty of witnesses outside of my friend group. Guy in cowboys jersey (who was apparently the owner) even tried to offer me shots for compensation. Ridiculous. They were obviously wasted. Sad because my friend group used to love this place. We will not be returning.

    Just do yourself a favor and go to 1 Up instead. It's 15 minutes before close and the bouncer is snapping his fingers at you across the bar while you're in the middle of playing a game telling you to leave. The female bartender also walked around telling beer drinkers they needed to "chug their beers" so she could finish her shift early. First time here and definitely won't be back.

    this place is so cool. the games are awesome (they have VR!) and the menu is dope - they have infused liquors with flavors like peach & watermelon & my personal favorite - pineapple habanero !! the bartender Collin is so sweet & helped us navigate the drink menu - truly excellent service. & John, another bartender was so kind to us even though it was his night off. everyone’s gotta try this place - even if they aren’t too familiar with video games - there are so many familiars games to try (Mario kart, Pac-Man, etc) The only suggestion I have is that they add more spicy infusions - they’re delicious !

    They have one racist bouncer who had to get held back by other employees because he has an issue with us closing our tab and leaving. He literally stepped up to a female trying to act tough when she told him we are going home. What a joke.

    Not the place to be on south broadway. The allure is the games but selection is limited and the exchange rate is over a $1 a game

    The bartender on 10/30 (roughly 11pm) is absolutely horrid! From the time I walked in, I was treated rudely and without respect. I chose not to tip well according to service provided (or lack thereof). I'm not sure of bartenders name, however what I do know is she was extremely rude. She demanded a good tip when service and general decency was absent. This establishment needs to be much more thorough about the people they hire. It takes respect to earn respect.

    Great south Broadway bar with all the tvs and games. Love watching Sunday football there and can’t beat it for a late night bar

  • 5/5 Colin K. 4 months ago on Google
    Amazing place. Do you like Irish energy? How about pool? How about other games? Not another bar in Denver like it

  • 2/5 Raptor C. 5 months ago on Google
    Came to check it out and it was completely empty when we arrived. We played a few overpriced low quality games. And we left out of boredom after a single drink. No shade, just wasn't much to engage with, and some of the games were a little run down.

    Fun games and entertainment! Great selection of infused shots- marshmallow, pickle, skittle etc. always has something going on, even on week nights!

    First of all this is a place you definitely gotta stop in. This is one of the best places for delicious drinks, great environment, and amazing games. We came in Thursday for dice night and I swear Cincinnati John and Colin were by far the best bartenders in this area maybe this state. Very professional, exceptional attitudes, and just all around good guys. If you’re in the neighborhood by and enjoy the atmosphere. Oh and by the way the prices are exceptional don’t miss out on this gem

    Don't know if food is good but beer was cold and the games were accessible for the space and fun. Couple of them are janky but it's still cool spot.

  • 5/5 Martina B. 6 months ago on Google
    Always fun, always fantastic service, friendly bartenders, big fan of the infused vodka drinks, overall great spot!!!

    They were nice here. I liked that. I couldn't play Mario kart 2 player because the machine was, well, frugged up so to say. 4 stars.

    Went for the first time this past weekend and it super fun! Staff was friendly, and the moonshine infusions were AMAZING. I personally loved the pineapple habanero (I brought my mini Tajin with me that added an extra kick lol). It’s really just a great spot to hang out, drink, play a few games, and they also have great music and you can even add your own to the queue. Will be back!

    I met some good people and had a great time.

  • 3/5 Bice 1 year ago on Google
    The venue is fun and the service was good but about half the games have issues so plan to lose money

    Haley is the best bartender loved coming back to my fav bar after some time away and just overall great times and service.

  • 5/5 Moshe O. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in around 7 on a Wednesday night and we had the whole place to ourselves! Was wonderful. Great drink selection and a nice selection of games. I could see how it could get very crowded very quickly but when we were there, it was very slow but we like that. Overall a great experience and would go back!

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun spot with cheap drinks and friendly staff. The bar is cool and has old game cartridges in it. I haven't played all the advanced games in the back but they look neat.

    This was my favorite bar, I became a mom during the pandemic so I have no time to come anymore but dang I’ll hold a lot of close memories close to my heart from here!

  • 5/5 Bianca B. 1 year ago on Google
    The best bar on Broadway! Games, tunes, and great service! 10/10 recommend
